Witches prophesize death in his life
But his wife, for her lot
Can't wash out that damned spot
And his rule's ended by Thane of Fife. | |
From a loan our lead man cannot stray
Or a pound of his flesh he must pay
'If you prick, don't we bleed?'

To go chaste in favor of learnin'

This is bad, since our boy
Fights for glorious Troy
And so now he must find another. | |

Their doomed love evermore
While their families wage war...

Honeymoon ends in grief,
With a pillow-induced homicide. | |

Two ladies who scoff his advances
His sweet talk? Heh, no thanks
They ensnare him in pranks
Does he win? I don't like his chances. | |
